The Joke's on You

The Joke's on You is the second album by Excel, released in 1989. This album saw the band mix their crossover thrash sound with influences coming from different genres, including punk, hip-hop, funk, doom metal and traditional thrash metal, and it is also driven by grooves, with Far Out calling the introduction to the track "Tapping into the Emotional Void" an early example of groove metal. The Joke's on You is also the last Excel album recorded with two of the "classic" lineup members, Adam Siegel and Greg Saenz. Following their departure, Excel's music would take a different direction on their next album, 1995's Seeking Refuge.
